Ski

Winter is here, the snow is falling and our cozy Ski Area is now open. It’s always a thrill when we get to open up the slopes for another season of awesome family fun. To help celebrate, I took a look back and gathered the best Ski Area photos from last season. Have a look and enjoy the snow this year!

For 33 years Fairmont Hot Springs Resort has hosted the locally-famous Starlight Challenge. This month-long event attracts ski racing enthusiasts from around the valley to compete amongst friends for pride, glory and prizes every Friday night in February.

As the snow fell overnight and continued on through the morning I knew there was a very strategic reason why I brought my ski gear to work with me. With 12cm of snow in the last 24 hours, it’s time to book a meeting at the top of the Sundance Triple Chair.

It’s an exciting day at FHSR! Riverside Golf Course has officially opened along with our RV resort. There were smiles abound as golfers took to the driving range and first tee box. And even more exciting, skiers and tubers are still enjoying the amazing spring like conditions up at our ski hill. All of this on the SAME day!

Fairmont Hot Springs Resort was the place to be this holiday season! There was an abundance of activities for families and couples alike to get in the holiday spirit. Kids were able to get creative with tons of activities including paint your own Christmas ornaments and build your own mini gingerbread house. Adults joined our in-house sommelier Erin for a special wine tasting followed by festive music by local duo Dos Equis around the beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

This winter is going to be a great one, we can just tell! The Ski Area at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort has been busy for a while now with updates and BRAND NEW features. What are they you ask? Well if you haven’t heard, we are adding a TUBE PARK to the Ski Area! WOAH! 2 lanes of of super tubing fun will be YOURS to try out this winter. We can’t wait to slide down.

One of the best things about skiing at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort Ski Area or even having a bite to eat in the Ski Chalet at Desperados is the panoramic views of the Columbia Valley and the beautiful Stanford Range. When your eyes span across the beautiful views it seems that your mind and body just completely stop as you take in everything in front of you.

The world did not end! That is great news!Even better news is the opening of the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort Ski Area on what we like to think the official start of your new life! Here’s three things you must try now that you’ve got a full life to live without the gloom of the world ending.

Great event last weekend! What a hilarious experience racing a sled down the ski hill. The imagination of our staff is outrageously funny. Hot tubs, cardboard cars, the roof of a golf cart, a sunbathing chair; were just a few of the creative sled designs. The photos are hilarious too – the crashes were possibly even more creative than the sleds themselves! I can’t wait to do it all again next year!
